WOE IN STORE FOR SALOONS
All Violations of the Mulct Law Are
to Be Followed by Prosecutions.
0DLE ANNOUNCES HIS PROGRAM
States that Owners of Saloons Will Re
Welti to the tlbaervasee of All
the Technicalities of
the I.nw.
"We are going to bring them nil under
tlie letter of the law and prosecutions will
be begun against saloons Just as quirk In
the cases of technical violations of the law
as In the cases of the most flagrant viola
tions," declared M. S. Odle, the attorney for
the Iowa AntI Saloon league, who will ap
pear In district court this morning to prose-,
cute the cases against the four saloons,
the owners of which have been cited to
show cause why they should not be ad
Judged guilty of contempt of court.
Attorney Odle admitted yesterday that he
had been brought here by the ministers to
prosecute the saloonmen, but declined to
give any names. One of the leading mem
bers of the Ministerial association atated
yesterday with considerable emphasis that
the invitation was not issued or authorized
by the association, and that the members
of liie organization who may have acted
in the matter, did so as Individuals.
The saloons involved in the proceedings
before Judge Wheeler today have been
among toe best conducted places In the
city and the action of the ministers In
bringing about the prosecution for what is
believed to be violation of mere technical!
ties of t ho law has caused a good deal of
resentment among tho business men gen
erally. Several of the ministers gathered at the
county court house yesterday morning to
witness the destruction of the liquor seized
last Monday evening In the basement of
the Manhattan saloon. The order of the
court was carried out by Captain D. Maltby,
constable In the court of Justice Greene, In
the absence of Constable Baker, who made
the seizure. Captain Maltby was assisted
by Rev. Henry DcLong.
R. P. Holllngshead. one of the men em
ployed to secure evidence against the four
saloons cited to appear in court today,
Is a resident of Albia, this state. On hla

citizen of Council Bluffs is printed "Dick

tective." LAW AND ORDER I.EAGIE FORMED
Stntement It Is Not Intention to Be
, Too Strict.
At the meeting held last night at the
county court house at which about eighty
citizens were present the Council Bluffs
Law Enforcement league was organized
with these officers: President, Attorney
D. K. Stuart; vice president, F. J. Day;
secretary. Attorney C. E. Swanson; treas
urer, Dr. J. II. Gasson.
The meeting was called to order by O. J.
McManus, former county superintendent
of schools, who called Attorney Charles M.
Harl to the chair to explain the purposes
and alma of the proposed organization.
Mr. Harl said that the league waa not
for the purpose of furthering the Ideas of
any political or other element of the com
munity, but merely for the purpose of en
couraging and backing up the city and
other authorities In the enforcement of the
law. It waa not intended to prosecute men
for trlrlal violations of the mulct law, but
to prevent flagrant violations of that law.
Referring to the proceedings begun by an
attorney for the Anti-Saloon league against
four of the saloons, Mr. Harl said he be
lieved there waa sufficient civic pride In
the citizens of Council Bluffs to have the
law enforced when flagrantly violated
without Importing outsiders. He said he
did not wish to impugn the motive of those
responsible for Importing a lawyer from
elsewhere, but on behalf of those men who
were promoting the organisation of the
league he wished to disclaim any responsi
bility for bringing him here. "A fair,
honest, Impartial enforcement of the mulct
and other laws Is all that this organization
will ask." declared Mr. Harl In closing.
After Mr. Harl had outlined ths purpose
of the proposed organization O. J. Mc
Manua on motion of Mr. J. H. Gasson was
named aa temporary chairman and At
torney C. E. Swanson waa named as
temporary secretary on motion of 7. C.
Lou gee. , i
It was then suggested that the meeting
proceed to form s permanent organization,
when Rev. O. O. Smith, pastor of the First
Congregational church, took the floor. He
said that several business men had talked
to him with reference to the meeting and
had expressed the opinion that to form such
an organization, Jus. aa he was about to
take his seat would be to give Mayor Elect
Thomas Maloney slap in the face. "Why
not let us adjourn say for sixty days and
watt and see What the new administration
will do." said Dr. Smith, when he waa In
terrupted by the temporary chairman with
the question as to whether hla remarks
were preparatory to putting a motion.
"They are, sir." replied the minister, who
forthwith moved that an adjournment be
taken for sixty days.
For a moment there waa deep alienee
and then the motion waa seconded by
Thomas Flood. On being put to a vote,
it was very evident the motion did not
meet the wishes of a large majority of
those present.
A motion to the effect having prevailed
Mr. McManua named F. C. Lougee, F. H.
Orcutt and Dr. A. C. Brown as a com
mittee on permanent organization. While
this committee waa conferring the chair
named C. M. Harl. C. O. Saunders, W. J.
Leveretf, Thomas G. Green and Dr. N. J.
Rica as a committee on by laws and constU
tution to report at the next meeting.
Ths committee on permanent organiza
tion then reported, suggesting the names
of the officers, the report was concurred
In and the meeting adjourned without a
date being set for the next session.
During the afternoon about twenty of
the leading buainess and professional men
of the city met with ths members of ths
Ministerial association and ths others in
terested In promoting the organisation of
ths Law Enforcement league and talked
the matter over In a business like manner.

The business men let It be distinctly un
derstood thst they would have nothing
to do with nor would they in any way
countenance any organization which plan
ned to be radical In compelling the enforce
ment of the liquor or other laws. There
was some exceedingly straight talk on
the subject of the proceedings begun by
a foreign attorney against four of the
SKloona and the promoters of the league
were given to understand that nothing of
that kind would be countenanced. Nearly
all nf the ministers present denied any
responsible for bringing Attorney odle
to Council Bluffs.
Rev. Charles Mayne, however, during
the discussion said that If be bad hla way
In the matter he would put every saloon
out of business altogether. It was decided
at the conference that the league was not
to enter the field for the purpose of rak
ing up old violations of the mulct law
and the instituting prosecutions for aanie
but was merely to Rsslst and encourage
th" authorities In preventing flagrant vio
bns of the mulct and other laws. With
this understanding the business men agreed
to give tlie league their support and endorsement.

lnternrban Fares to Stay.
According to an opinion by City Solicitor
Bremner, given today, the city cannot
regulate the fares on tho lnterurban lines
Inside the city limits of Des Moines. He
states that such authority does not exist
unless the statutes expressly permit It,
and they do not so permit. The only
possible way to regulate them is wnen tne
franchise Is first granted. There are two
cases pending in the courts to determine
whether or not there IsNi franchise In this
case. If It is decided that no franchise
exists, then the city will have an oppor
tunity to regulate the fares. From some
of the interurban stations Inside the city
limits of-Des Moines the Interurban haa
been charging by the mile, which makes
more than a 5-cent fare.

miHy System to Ti-ncbera In
State t nlversltles.
NEW YORK. April 4. Announcement
wus made tonight that Andrew Carnegie
would add $S,00O.0M to tho fund of the
Carnegie Foundation, or wnatever sum
might be necessary to include as pension
beneficiaries eligible professors of state
universities.
No provision waa made for this class
of educators In the original gift for the
reason stated by Mr. Carnegie at the time,
that the donor thought It possible that
such Institutions might prefer that their
relations should continue exclusively with
tha atato from which their chief sup
port was derived. This view was not
taken by the national association of state
universities, which In tlie year following,
the esetabllshment of the foundation pe
titioned the trustees for admittance to the
benefits to the retiring allowance system.
It was found that the earnings of the
original fund of 10.0c(i.nfO wera exhaustetd
through the outlet already planned ami
that If tlie faculties of all state universities
were to benefit, an additional J6,000,OiK)
would be needed.
The. situation waa placed formally be
fore Mr. Carnegie by Dr. Henry 8. Prltch
ett, president of tlie Carnegie foundation
for the advancement of teaching on March
31 last, and on that same day Mr. Carne
gie replied thaL the money would be forth
coming for any state Institution whose ap
plication rccolvod the approval of tha
legislature and governor of Its state. Tho
additional donation will he In five per cent
bonds providing an added annual Income
of a quarter of a million dollars, and a
total for yearly disbursements of I75O,0"O.
